The National Rose Garden of Australia is a showpiece of Tasmanian horticultural excellence.
The garden is open every day except Christmas Day.
The National Rose Garden is located on the banks of the beautiful Macquarie River at the historic Woolmers Estate in Longford, Tasmania.

The two hectare garden provides visitors with a unique journey through the evolution of the rose, from Abraham Darby to Zephirine Drouhin and dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries.

The Garden displays all the recognised rose families and represents one of the finest collections of historic roses in the southern hemisphere.

The plan of the garden is formal and symmetrical and acknowledges the 19th century context in which is sits. Some of the rose beds are planted in such a way that the visitor can enjoy a more educational experience, with each variety identified by a nameplate.
